I take the opposite side of that.

My basic reasons are that I am quite optimistic about cybersecurity in the long term and I see the primary problem as being getting the transition, and I expect BTC to handle at least any issues that do not require social consensus well (upgrading clients, mining pools, etc to deal with network-layer hacks is in this category) (and I think the probability of actual breaks on hashes or PoW is tiny)

I would offer a bet, but given what my holdings are I'm basically taking this bet (I assume you believe the same re ETH) with ~90% of my net worth already 😀

Look closer.

This is what “change” looks like inside your brain:

For “the nation,” as a nation of soldiers, need never be supplied with a good conscience in war—it has one already.

"Then nothing more is wanted but an opportunity for great wars.

Other way around.

MIC (Military Industrial Complex) runs Israel.

FIC (Financial Industrial Complex) runs US.

FIC is more powerful than MiC.

Both are captured countries where corporate power is much greater than state power.

Language models are powerful synthesis tools. On the other hand, they sterilize content, making it politically correct and filtering out some of the most important perspectives, especially those that are uncommon, uncomfortable, or unpopular.

@bryan_johnson I don’t think it’s just about cardiovascular fitness.

I can have erections almost nonstop for days when I’m around a woman I’m very attracted to,

but I may have none at all when I’m deeply immersed in a project.

“Become who you are.”
“Give style to your character.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

[davesoma @dscompounding]

Nietzsche is like Morpheus:

he doesn't show you something entirely new;

he makes you see clearly what you have always felt.

And once you take the red pill, there is no going back.

@PeterSchiff AI can compete with Bitcoin for capital and premium power, but that’s not existential. Miners can use stranded energy AI data centers cannot, while AI strengthens auditing as much as attacks. It doesn’t magically break Bitcoin’s cryptography.

Strength is about holding:

Any person who looks at a market that’s overrun with Romantasy porn, AI slop, 10k page fanfiction and LitRPGs, and decides to write, sinking thousands of hours of his life with no monetary incentive is either a madman or possessed by God.
